Highly recommend - Mr. George was an absolute font of knowledge. It was a long day, but comfortable and totally worth it to see and experience all that we saw and did. The snacks were plenty and the choice for dinner was phenomenal. I highly recommend this tour.

A Trip Worth Taking - It was approximately a little less than a four hour car ride each way, but the experience was totally worth it. Our driver Georgios was friendly and very informative, and his car was quite comfortable. He was very accommodating as far as stopping whenever we wanted for food or photo shoots at scenic locations. We visited three different monasteries, and while we had a favorite, each one was most enjoyable. The views were terrific and the monasteries were so interesting. It was a once in a lifetime experience for us, and we are very happy we decided to include this trip in our itinerary'

Going to Meteora from... - Going to Meteora from Athens is a time commitment, but we would say it's well worth the journey. The monasteries focus on a period of Greek history -- the 14th c. on -- that gives visitors a look at something different from the ancient. Perched on high rocks cliffs, the monasteries are spirtual and otherworldly. Any photos you or anyone takes will be a completely inadequate representation of what you see with your own eyes. Yes, the drive there and back takes a long time, but the countryside reminded us a lot of Southern California and is pretty to look at.

Comfortable and memorable visit to Meteora - We had an excellent experience on our full-day private tour of Meteora from Athens. The journey was comfortable, thanks to the spacious, well-maintained car. Our driver, Jason, was polite, professional, and attentive throughout the day, which made the long drive very pleasant. Traveling on a Saturday turned out to be a great choice, as the traffic was light both leaving Athens and returning, allowing us to visit three monasteries and enjoy a relaxed Greek lunch at Kalambaka. The entire trip was 12 hours. Meteora itself is absolutely breathtaking—truly one of the most unique and beautiful places we’ve visited. The dramatic rock formations and monasteries are awe-inspiring and well worth the trip. Overall, this was a fantastic experience, and we would highly recommend this tour operator for anyone looking for a seamless and memorable visit to Meteora.
